Very kind of you to do that for him! I understand the "secretly moaned inside" feeling, though! Those who don't sew both underestimate and overestimate our desire to "sew", lol. His surprise and obvious appreciation was a nice reward.

I admire OnebyOne's restraint in not saying to him: "Why not buy Yourself a sewing machine?" LOL!

What a wonderful deed you did, and I love the zipper trick. I have one to do one my husband's old military winter coat, maybe I can get it done for next years snowy days.
